Namibia: The red earth of Wonderland
There are no words to describe it. No adjective, no adverb; nothing perfect enough. All this sand, these dunes, these plains and mountains under infinite skies, all this wild life; this unspoilt nature... and these people too, the Himbas, one of the most beautiful peoples on Earth, but very fragile. You'd have to be overweight, back on your feet, or very depressed not to appreciate the beauty of Namibia, one of the youngest countries in the world.

Cuba: the Caribbean myth
On Saturday afternoons in Havana, the Malecón, the huge seafront boulevard lined with sea-sprayed buildings, is the most picturesque. Clusters of teenagers from working-class neighbourhoods of all colours gather there. Some, balancing on the jutting rocks, plunge into the refreshing waters of the Gulf of Mexico, others squabble on the low protective wall, while at the entrance to the port, a few fishermen tire out the fish in front of the Castillo del Morro, a military building constructed by the Spanish at the end of the 16th century.
